Entrepreneurship is hard, yet rewarding but we need to talk about the hard stuff so you know you're not alone. In this conversation, Ruthie Sterrett and I talk about the hard things we've encountered that we didn't know was coming our way as an entrepreneur. From revenue changes to emotions, we share it all and we do it while we are both experiencing hard things. Instead of waiting until we were on the other side of it, we share while we're in the messy middle so you know you're not alone. In the end the reality is that things in life and in entrepreneurship don't get easier, but you get better at handling the hard things that come your way. You've got this and we hope this conversation is something you come back to anytime you need it.  Takeaways: Entrepreneurship often involves taking action and embracing uncertainty, even without having all the answers. Making hard decisions, such as cutting expenses or ending coaching relationships, is necessary for the long-term success of the business. Balancing business and personal life requires effective time management and the ability to compartmentalize different aspects of life. Finding work-life integration is more effective than striving for work-life balance. Social media comparison can negatively impact mental health, so it's important to remember that everyone has their own struggles. Taking time to feel and reflect on emotions is an important part of personal growth and learning.
